The following existing schedules are referred to in the new form 1040, Schedule A, Schedule C, Schedule D, Schedule E, Schedule F, Schedule H, Schedule SE, and Schedule 8812 (Child Tax Credit). However, Schedules B, Schedule J, and Schedule R, are not mentioned.

The new 1040 “only adds needless complexity and confusion,” said Democrat Representative Lloyd Doggett of Texas. “The longer Form 1040, which all taxpayers have used for decades, is being replaced with Republican mythology that will only complicate tax filing.”
